Cowboys and Chubsters

Off to the rodeo! They had such a great time. Carson wants to ride a "donkey when he gets big"and wants us to "watch him fall off". Adorable.

 Update on our chunkers: he is healthy, happy, smiley, and likes to "talk" to us. He thinks his coo-ing is a full blown conversation. We get a kick out of him. He is smooshy and chubby and so so so beautiful!

Cabins and Legos and Bear, Oh My!

 My face painting skills are sad. Where are Cousin Brittany and Aunt Tiffany when we need them? :) It's supposed to be a beach ball and a butterfly. Luckily the kids sure thought it was great, though.

 Still loves his baby straight jacket (i.e. swaddler) and his giraffe attached binkie. So cute!

 Good times at the Bell's Cabin in Tabiona. We sure had a blast roasting marshmallows, 4-wheeling, hiking, doing crafts, and spending time on the lake.

 Grandma Tani and Papa Owen even came up and played at the cabin with us.

 Baby Mckay's first trip to the cabin.

 Haley is now back to school. Phew! Sigh of relief... we made it through Summer. Haley loves school and loves to be busy, so we are thrilled to have another year of preschool ahead.

 For preschool, we got to bring home Teddy and he spent the night having adventures at our house. We took him to the park and we made pizzas for Family Home Evening. I think Teddy had a great time at our house. Haley loved showing him around.

Our 5 Week Old Giant

 Yes, that is our 5 week old. He is so huge!!

 He is pretty chunky so he usually looks like he has a grumpy face.

 But don't be deceived, he is an angel of a baby.

 The kids love to hold him and maul him and kiss him and smother him...

 Needless to say, we are really enamored by our new little addition.

 "Cooking" with our rice box... one of our favorite activities.

So far we are doing great as a family of 5. Haley illustrates it well... HAPPY FACES AND JAZZ HANDS!!

Almost 4 Weeks Old

Mckay is almost 4 weeks old and he is delightfully mellow. He is unsure about his brother, Carson, and gets quite nervous when he comes around. :) He is so beautiful and we are grateful everyday to have him in our home. 

 Aunt Brittney and Aunt Madi came to help love all three of the kids. They had a blast with their sweet and gorgeous aunts.

Grandpa and Grandma Bell came to help with Baby Mckay and the house. I love when they come... my house gets a cleaning overhaul. Yay! We miss them all already.

McKay is Well-Loved Already

Cousin Cameryn is wonderful at holding McKay.

Proud Grandma and Sister.

 The three little girl cousins... Don't be fooled by their sweet smiles, they can be crazy. :)

 Baby McKay

 Aunt Natalie and Cousin Jordyn holding the baby.

 McKay's first bath. He likes bath time, chillin in the warm water.

 Our beautiful Haley. She is growing up so much right before our eyes. We just can't believe how big she has gotten. Where did the time go?

 Baby McKay nearly 2 weeks old. He is such a handsome little guy. He looks just like our other two babies. Funny how they all three look so much alike as newborns.
